5. Multipurpose tool
No matter how complex or not is your multipurpose tool, it can be your lifesaver. “Your multipurpose tool should be able to do what other widely used tools—like a screwdriver, pair of pliers, or scissors—can do,” says Hart. And definitely a can opener, if you don’t have pop-top cans.
Your vehicle should also have its own emergency tool kit which should include water and high-energy non-perishable food but also an inflated spare tire, the jack and wheel wrench, jumper cables, reflective triangles and brightly colored cloth, says Vogel.
If it’s winter and the weather isn’t friendly, you should definitely add a snow brush, shovel, blankets, and windshield washer fluid. Can’t find your old multipurpose tool? We recommend you this one.
